Bug Description

The touch keyboard could do with:
* a tab key, to make it easier to move to the next field on forms
* a right hand shift key
* keys for copy/paste
* arrow keys to move the insertion point. shiftlock-arrow to make selection highlight.

You can file these under 'wishlist' & 'accessibility' -the little blue insertion point handle is too fiddly for someone with Parkinsons or poor eyesight, for example.

That said the phone/tablet keyboard is far better than stock IOS if you have shakey hands. Still keep presssing p for backspace, mind.
